TL;DR: Steady-state measurements, EPR evidence, deuteration experiments and attempted intramolecular trapping of the adduct radical support the mechanistic proposal.
Abstract: Alkyl radical obtained by irradiation of tetrabutylammonium decatungstate in acetonitrile in the presence of cycloalkanes (C5H10, C6H12, C7H14) are efficiently trapped by electrophilic alkenes (acrylonitrile, isopropylydenmalonitrile, isopropylydencyanoacetate) to give the corresponding alkylated aliphatic nitriles. The reaction can be carried out up to complete conversion of the alkene with reasonable (in most cases 60-65 %) yields. Addition of the radicals to the alkene is followed by electron transfer from reduced decatungstate regenerating the sensitizer (turn over number up to 60). Steady-state measurements, EPR evidence, deuteration experiments and attempted intramolecular trapping of the adduct radical support the mechanistic proposal.

TL;DR: Mn-salen complex was found to catalyze highly enantioselective oxidation of enol ethers with iodosylbenzene as a terminal oxidant giving the corresponding hydroxy acetals, when the reaction was carried out in an alcoholic solvent as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the anodic oxidation of 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenolate (IId), as well as the 4-ethyl (IIc) and 4-nbutyl (IIe) derivatives, has been studied by cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile with a platinum disk electrode.

TL;DR: Simply mixing solutions of the title compound 1 and tetrathiafulvene in acetonitrile provides the charge-transfer complex 2, which functions as a novel electron acceptor and is present in the complex as a radical anion.
Abstract: Simply mixing solutions of the title compound 1 and tetrathiafulvene (TTF) in acetonitrile provides the charge-transfer complex 2. Here, 1 functions as a novel electron acceptor and is present in the complex as a radical anion. An electrical conductivity of up to 3 S cm-1 was determined for 2 with a two-point powder measurement.
